Ingredients

Scale

Cream Layer:

  • 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Soaking Liquid:

  • 1 ½ cups strong brewed espresso or coffee (cooled)
  • 3 tbsp amaretto liqueur

Assembly:

  • 1 package (about 7 oz) ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 1 ½ cups cherry preserves or cherry pie filling
  • ½ cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved (plus more for topping)

Garnish:

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Fresh cherries (with stems, optional)
  • Shaved chocolate or sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and fluffy.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso and amaretto liqueur.
  3. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture (don’t soak). Line the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish with dipped cookies.
  4. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
  5. Spoon half of the cherry preserves and fresh cherry halves evenly over the cream.
  6. Repeat the layers: dipped ladyfingers, remaining cream, then remaining cherry mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and decorate with fresh cherries, shaved chocolate, or almonds as desired.
  9. Slice and serve chilled!
